Well, pal Fred,My understanding is that the government is trying to pick winners the way a bettor with too much money picks horses: place plenty of bets with insufficient knowledge of the field and figure that one of them is bound to pay off. It might do well to study technological advance at the turn of the 20th century: there were a number of reasonably practical schemes for electric streetcars. The inventors and their backers took personal risks to try to be the one. There were running commercial lines with, for example, Van Depoele technology. But Sprague blew them all away. Much more recently we had the government specify that the SLRV was what everyone would have to buy if they wanted "public" funds. Good thing San Diego decided to go their own way and buy a proven technology. your pal, SLRT |
